H ow the Center Works

The SCC Writing Center is operated and staffed by the English Department and offers assistance to students—collectively and individually—who are struggling with some of the concepts and writing assignments in their composition classes. If you would like to take advantage of the Writing Center’s many services, you must enroll in the Writing Center course—English 098. It is a Credit/No Credit class for which you can earn .2 units. Here is what the course offers:

Small-group instruction/mini-lectures on common grammatical and structural problems
Computer-assisted learning with an easy-to-use program called PLATO to review mini-lecture topics with tutorials, practice tests, and mastery tests
One-on-one instruction from the professor on duty to discuss any or all of your specific papers’ problems
A t-home practice with exercises to review grammar, mechanics, and proper MLA format

How to Sign Up

In order to sign up for the course, you will have to do the following:

Use the add slip which is attached to this packet, fill in your name and ID number at the top, and ask your English instructor to sign it.
Then take the signed add card to the Admissions Office (1^st floor of the E-building) to officially register.
Once you have enrolled, go to the Cashier’s Office (1^st floor of the E-building) and pay a one-time $5 fee for the course.

When to Sign Up

Sign up dates are between Monday, February 6 and Friday, March 3, giving you a full month of class to determine if you will benefit from Writing Center instruction.

H ow to Complete the Course

In order to receive credit for the course, you will have to complete:

At least 5 full hours in the Writing Center
At least 4.6 hours of “homework” which must be done during times when the center is not open

WE CAN HELP YOU MOVE FROM STRESS TO SUCCESS! TOTAL HOURS NEEDED FOR THE SEMESTER: 9.6

Information About Your 5 Writing Center Hours

You should arrive promptly at the beginning of the hour you wish to attend.
You must be sure to use the Success Center computer to sign in upon arrival and sign out upon departure, logging in with your student ID number under the English 098 ticket.
You must complete half of your hours before mid-semester and half after mid-semester (rather than squeezing all of them in during the final weeks).
You are allowed to attend more than 5 hours if you choose.
F ifteen minute mini-lectures will take place every Tuesday at 12:30PM and 4:00PM and every Wednesday at 2:00PM and 4:00PM. A schedule of lecture topics is located in this packet. You are encouraged to attend the lectures with topics you find to be unfamiliar or difficult. Following the lectures, you can
- work on the WC Practice sheets which review the lecture
- ask questions about your individual assignments
During hours when lectures are not scheduled, you can
- work on self-selected practice sheets
- use the Answer Keys in the File Boxes to correct and review your practice and homework sheets
- use the PLATO program on the Success Center computers for computer-assisted learning. An explanation of PLATO is included in this packet.
- check out the “Help Files” which are located in the same file box with the WC Practice sheets. These include various handouts from different English professors on all sorts of topics—like tidy comma rules, helpful transitional words, and effective research strategies. These sheets are available for you to take, study, and apply to your writing.
- use the Success Center computers for research purposes. However, you can only access Internet sites which are relevant to your English assignments.
- w ork with the Writing Center instructor individually to get assistance with specific assignments. Please do not expect the instructor to edit and proofread your papers.
If you are receiving extra credit for English 098, you should have a Task Report filled out by the Writing Center instructor for every hour attended. When you have completed all 5 hours, you should turn the reports into your English 60, 61 or 101 professor along with all of the practice and homework sheets you have done. A sample Task Report is included in this packet.

Information About Your 4.6 Homework Hours

These hours do not necessarily have to be done at home. They just have to happen during times when the Writing Center is not open for business—“off hours.” Here is how to fulfill them:

Complete Homework Practice Worksheets. These are in a separate file box from the “WC Practice Sheets.” One sheet will take approximately 15 minutes; therefore, 18 of them will suffice to meet the 4.6 requirement. A list of these worksheet topics is included in this packet. When you have completed and corrected all 18, be sure to show your work to the instructor on duty, so he or she may verify your completion. You will then have the sheets returned to you, so you can give them to your English professor.

Collect TASK REPORTS each time you visit the center--

Be sure to ask the center’s instructor to fill out and sign these reports
Keep them all in your folder

Complete 18 HOMEWORK PRACTICE SHEETS outside of the writing center

Collect four at a time at the end of your visits to the center
Use the Answer Keys to correct them in the center
Keep them in your folder until you have done all 18
